Quotes
Dinah: Do you know how sick and twisted I am? I'd just like to explain it to you. I have played Princess Cassie for so long that I actually started to believe I was her. That everything she had should be mine. And at the same time, I hated her for taking everything, everything that should be mine in my dream. So being her and hating her is what my life has become. That's who I am. And I didn't see that until last night. And I am nothing without Cassie.
Bill: Stop it. Listen to me. Listen to me. That's the whiskey talking. That is not you.
Dinah: No. It is.
Bill: No, it isn't.
Dinah: Bill, I saw it in your eyes and I saw it in Daddy's eyes when you guys did not care, you were very excited to pack me off to Italy, so you could keep me away from Cassie and she could go on with her life.
Bill: You know what? This is what it's all about. It's you getting a fresh start. That's what you need. That's all you need, Dinah.
Dinah: She has everything that I have ever wanted, and I have needed that to stay alive.
